Cooking Safety
Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States Department of Agriculture's recommended temperatures.
Temp Food
145˚F (63˚C) Fish
160˚F (71˚C) Pork, ground beef/veal/lamb, egg dishes
165˚F (74˚C) For leftover, ready-to-reheat refrigerated, and deli and carry-out “fresh” food. Whole, pieces and
ground turkey/chicken/duck.
170˚F (77˚C) white meat of poultry.
180˚F (82˚C) dark meat of poultry.
To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a thick or dense area away from fat or bone. NEVER leave the ther-
mometer in the food during cooking, unless it is approved for microwave use.
• ALWAYS use potholders to prevent burns when handling utensils that are in contact with hot food. Enough heat from
the food can transfer through utensils to cause skin burns.
